Explanation:

Analyze the dramatic context and character interaction

Rosalind is disguised as a young man named Ganymede. She speaks of Orlando (who is in love with Rosalind) as a "fancy-monger" who has the "quotidian of love upon him." Orlando, unaware that Ganymede is actually his beloved Rosalind, immediately confesses, "I am he that is so love-shaked: I pray you tell me your remedy."

Determine the dramatic effect

The audience is fully aware of Rosalind's true identity, while Orlando is completely in the dark. This discrepancy in knowledge creates dramatic irony. In Shakespearean comedy, this specific type of misunderstanding and disguise is used to generate lighthearted amusement and humor for the audience.
